Drivers do not need to pay the daily ULEZ charge for vehicles parked inside the zone that are not driven on that day. This is regardless of whether the vehicle is parked on a private drive or on street.
There are no barriers or toll booths. Cameras read vehicle number plates driven through the zone, which are checked against our database to see if they meet ULEZ emissions standards. Advance information signs appear on major roads, indicating the distance to the boundary.
Cars, vans, motorcycles, mopeds, caravans, and minibuses can all be landed with a £180 penalty, payable if they have not paid their ULEZ charge correctly or on time.
About the ULEZThe ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December). Drivers of vehicles that don't meet certain emission standards need to pay a daily charge to drive in the zone.
Failing to pay on time will issue a fixed Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to the registered keeper of the vehicle. This applies to a nominated lease holder of the vehicle if an agreement has been provided by the registered keeper of the car. If you receive a PCN, you will be expected to pay £180 within 28 days.
Pay Congestion Charge, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges automatically each month. Auto Pay records the number of charging days a vehicle travels in the Congestion Charge zone and, if your vehicle does not meet the emissions standards, the ULEZ and LEZ. It bills users each month.
There are roughly 2,800 Ulez cameras dotted around London, although TfL has not released a definitive list. Because the zone was originally in central London, many of the cameras are in the inner boroughs of the capital. Since the expansion on August 29, TfL has installed more cameras in the outer boroughs.
If I don't pay the ULEZ charge, will I receive a penalty fine? Yes, TfL uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to detect entry to the zone. If your vehicle does not meet the ULEZ emission standards, failure to pay will result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of £180, or £90 if paid within 14 days.
Ulez cameras are the cameras used by Transport for London (TfL) across the capital. They allow TfL to monitor the cars that enter and exit the zone. The cameras record drivers' number plates, which then get checked against a database to see if the vehicle complies with Ulez rules.
